Description
When opening a video on a shared link in iOS, you can't play the video in full screen, only inside the browser.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create a share link
- open a video in iOS on that shared link
- use "Full screen"
- See that full screen is not working
I expect, that fullscreen should use the whole screen of my iPhone.
I tried to disable the viewer and then it works in iOS but gives me more trouble on Safari on Mac.
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iOS 14.8
- NC 22.1.1
